How could anyone resist curling up with a great book, travel guide or simply sitting with a coffee in hand, with this atmosphere? Daunt Books is one of my favourite London places. This is their gorgeous Marylebone location.

A bit of a guilty pleasure, but since it’s usually fairly focused on current ‘trends’ (with a bit of celeb banter mixed in) I feel like this site can provide some insight on the fickle minds of the everyday fashion-consumer.
Coffee
I vividly remember my first time. Samantha, my cool friend from Summer-camp, invited me to stay with her for a few days in the “big” city (yes, Toronto!). I must have been 12 or 13 and this was a huge deal, which involved much effort on my part to embody the same level of what I felt was her immense maturity. We were hunkering down to watch Bramstrokers Dracula and armed with our Zero chocolate bars, she asked me if I wanted coffee to help stay awake. “Of course, I love coffee,” I replied. I had no idea at the time how true those words would become.
Today I’m opening a new bag of Sainsbury’s Fairtrade Colombian ‘fresh roast ground coffee: rich smooth & nutty’ which is what actually prompted this post. A far cry from that virgin cup almost 16 years ago, which was loaded up with sugar and cream, I’ll enjoy today’s mug black with a bit of cinnamon. So far so good.

This site is a constant source of inspiration for me. Creative, whimsical and sometimes unusual design, all in one pretty little box.
New beginnings.
